A slug can travel several hundred yards. Its maximum useful range for hunting is about 100-150 yards. Beyond that, the drop of the slug becomes great enough to make accuracy very difficult.

How far can a 12 gauge gun shoot until the bullet starts to drop?

Technically a 12 gauge shotgun does not shoot a single bullet. It fires small lead balls from .25 inches in diameter to 1mm in diameter or less. Shotguns are also cabable of firing a slug which is esentially a very heavy bullet. The range depends on the angle of the barrel relative to the ground. in theory it begins to drop as it exits the muzzle.
